New Figs

While ornamentals have their place, Clint and I would rather used our acreage to plant something that gives something tangible back. Being business minded, we try to find things that are attractive and will produce something usable like these figs. Once you get figs to grow well, they are considered one of the easiest plants to propagate by cuttings. Not only will you have fruit to eat, but you can also sell off extra fig trees. These are two each of rooted cuttings of three different varieties. We found them through a friend in Oregon.

Prayer Requests

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Our friend's daughter with Lyme and co-infections is not doing well at all. She's been treated for it since the first of the year and is still having a lot of symptoms. Please pray for her and her family.

Clint and I are asking for wisdom and guidance as we work on our home, farm, and kennel.

Please let us know how we can pray for you using the email in the blog header. One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. – Luke 18:1
